Happy Mother's Day

We had a picnic for Mother's Day this year in Brenham. John, Mitch and I met Pat, Morgan and Taos at Fireman's Park which is about 1/2 way between our two houses. It was a beautiful day and we all enjoyed being outside-especially Taos! With an adult:child ratio of 5:1, what's not to enjoy?
We missed the rest of our family though. Conner was with his mom and Scott, Jack,Sawyer and Grace were up in South Bend making breakfast for Jen. Maybe next year!

South Bend Journal: NOW I understand...

Sometimes I wonder why Jen and Scott do not pick up their phones when I call them. 
NOW I understand.
Preschool, Kindergarten, jobs, soccer, basketball, CCE, visitors, field trips, school parties, cooking, laundry, carpooling, church committees, sleep training, potty training, learning to read, nursing, weaning, child nutrition.
I know we did it all too but it makes my head spin now to see their pace!
We had a blast at their house and I was able to keep up only as long as Sawyer, Grace and I got our afternoon naps. We were lucky to be there to visit with Eddie, Laura and Baby Eddie too!

Fairy Godmothers attend Atlanta wedding

Last weekend was a happy get together for the Vandy suite mates in Atlanta. Mary Beth's oldest son tied the knot and we all joined in the festivities. We were wined and dined and hilarity ensued. It was wonderful to share this great occasion with the Gradys. We visited the Botanic Gardens near downtown, had some pizza at Ecco and stayed with our friends Barb and Peter in their lovely home.
